Never forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn't allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians.--Alexander Hope

Stuck on Roof for Katrina

Still plugging away at prepping and being self sustained

Well It's been a rough time around here for me health wise,3 weeks ago I turned up with strepp throat ,after about 2 weeks of antibiotics and gargling with salt water I had that whipped then I got a ear infection,one of the most painful things I've ever had.Went to the Doc today and she said the ear canal was infected. She gave me a new scrip and I'm sayin extra prayers that it works it's magic soon. Meanwhile the chores go on,One of my younger does had a 6 kit litter....yea baby, And a older doe is due any day.The last litter is 8 weeks old and I figure by the time I get these new ones weaned it's butchering time for the 9 in the rabbit condo.So 15 so far and I figure i should get at least another half dozen from the doe ready to drop so my Rabbit stash is coming along nicely,just in time for hurricane season. I've also been lucky enough for a friend of mine to let me go fishing at his family's private ponds and have caught quite a nice stash of white perch and brim. Since the BP spill I wont eat anything from saltwater.It's a damm shame I'm surrounded by water with some of the best fishing in the world and Man has it contaminated.I have too many problems now to take a chance on tainted fish. At least my freezers are getting quite full and I haven't been going to the store for any meat in quite some time. I need the break as my pockets are almost empty from the Doctors fees. Also was lucky enough to get a deer this winter so I'm pretty good to go.plenty of sausage and roast.The garden is starting to produce a little but I must admit I'm disappointed in production because we haven't put the time into it we should have.It seems we have too much going on,not enough time or money to do it right. We did get a new chicken area built.12x12 all wired in with a 12 ft ceiling.We converted half of the old green house into this area and now I have a hen house to build for the 10 chicks we purchased.I have a little time to get it done because they are still young but plan on getting it done in the next 2 weeks. I hope everyone else is on track cause I got a feeling we are due for some kind of storm this year,either from mother nature or our politicians.Good luck to all and stay focused on your preps.....

"I am the Sword of my Family and Shield of my Nation. If sent, I will crush everything you have built, burn all that you love, and kill every one of you" - unknown

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed…."- Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 1787

The Doctrine of the Three Percent.

We will not disarm.You cannot convince us.You cannot intimidate us.You can try to kill us, if you think you can.But remember, we'll shoot back.And we are not going away.Your move.

"Ours was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and with three little words: 'We the People.' 'We the People' tell the government what to do; it doesn't tell us. 'We the People' are the driver; the government is the car, and we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast. Almost all the world's constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which 'We the People' tell the government what it is allowed to do. 'We the People' are free." - Ronald Reagan, Presidential Farewell Speech, Jan. 11th, 1989
